It is just about a foot longer than the traditional ES44AC. Must need the extra foot for the equipment used to meet EPA Tier 4 emissions standards.

Photo ID: 104459 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, October 5, 2013 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Irondale Commerce City, CO 1735 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Brush (BNSF) General Electric This shot offer a pretty good look at the radiator housing on GE's new Tier 4 emissions GEVO. It is noticeably larger and has a greater slope that previous iterations. The single number board in back is somewhat interesting too. Unlike the popular (with BNSF, anyway) ES44C4 - whose axle configuration is A1A-A1A - this prototype has all six axles powered.

This is to avoid blocking the grade crossing at County Road 73 in town. Once the westbound the train is meeting (the Z-train from Chicago) is about 10 miles away, the dispatcher will instruct the train to pull in to the clear.
